Gtk# or Windows.Forms

Mikal asks whether developing cross-platform .NET you should use Windows.Forms or Gtk# as your widget set.

Good question. Mono now uses a non-Wine Windows.Forms implementation by default, which is a plus going that way. I think Gtk# looks nicer, so right now it might be looking at what your primary audience is - if you are targeting Windows and some Linux, go Windows.Forms. If you are targeting Linux, with some Windows, go Gtk#.

I think from a compatibility and stability front, Gtk# is probably a better choice today.
